Day 3 At The Mr. Price Pro
July 3, 2008 – 12:39 am PT by MeTags: ASP, Quinton Jones, Roseanne Hodge, Sunny Garcia —
It was an unexpected day as an East South swell and on shore breeze drove an uncharacteristic left over the sand bank at the ASP World Qualifying 6-Star Mr. Price Pro in Durham South Africa today. Of the overwhelming contingent of 18 South African Surfers, only six of them remained after the day’s competition was over. Former South African surf champions Quinton Jones and Roseanne Hodge were among those who made it onto the next round with their amazing performances.
“It’s kind of weird, I’ve been surfing at New Pier for about 20 years and I’ve never surfed an event where I’ve gone left,” Jones said. “A lot of the guys were sticking to the rights but the swell direction was pushing it down the beach, so it’s kind of running away from you the whole time while on the lefts, it’s coming towards you so you have more of a lip to actually come off the bottom and off the top.”
Tomorrow’s action continues with Jeremy Flores, Glen Hall, Sunny Garcia, and Corey Zeims all still in contention for the championship
